Manchester United is currently watching two Serie A stars ahead of the January transfer window.
Napoli is leading the pack after eight games with two points clear and the joint-highest goal difference of eight. Meanwhile, reigning champions Inter Milan and record-holding champions Juventus are chasing Antonio Conte’s side in second and third, respectively.
With Napoli enjoying such an impressive run of form, it’s no surprise that United, among other teams, have sat up to take not on some of their stars.
Recently United scouts have been out to Italy to monitor two of Conte’s key players.
United’s interest in Napoli’s key players
The first is winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who has been labelled as the next Mo Salah. The Georgian winger has recently snubbed French side PSG wanting to hold out for a Premier League side amid interest from Liverpool and United.
The 23-year-old has registered 29 goals and 28 assists in 98 games, including four goals and two assists so far this season.

Whilst Kvaratskhelia is contracted until 2027, his agent has been very vocal about his desire to move, speaking about the European interest this summer, saying: “I don’t want people to think that Kvara wants to stay at Napoli. We want to leave, but we are waiting for the end of the Euros so as not to disturb Khvicha.”
The second in United’s spotlight is centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno.
The 25-year-old came through the Torino youth academy and after graduating to the senior team, went on two loans to Carpi and Trapani in the third tier of Italian football.
However, he’s now settled into Serie A as of 2020, making 99 appearances for Torino before moving to Napoli this summer.
Having already broken into the Napoli first team, the Serie A side is yet to lose a game with Buongiorno on the pitch.
After finishing tenth last season, Napoli are without European football this year, however are taking the Italian league by storm.
